Photo selection lock screen keeps zooming in photos

I have a rotating selection of photos (photo selection in customization) for my lock screen. My IPhone keeps zooming in on every photo for some reason, possibly repositioning entirely. Does anyone have a solution for this? I thought after positioning the images manually myself they would stay in that position, but I guess not.


1st image is what I set the zoom the be, the 2nd is what it eventually gets to.



iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

It's possible for there to be two similar photos in your Camera Roll, with one being zoomed in more than the other. This could happen for several reasons:

  1. Manual Zoom: If you zoomed in while taking the photo or while viewing it, there might be a version of the photo that's zoomed in or cropped differently, and another one at the original full frame.
  2. Editing: Sometimes, editing a photo in the Photos app (e.g., cropping, rotating, or adjusting the zoom level) can result in two versions of the same image with different zoom levels.
  3. Live Photos: If you're using Live Photos, the camera might capture multiple frames, and one of them might be zoomed in more than the others. If you're using a Live or Dynamic wallpaper, these have built-in motion features that cause the zooming effect. Try switching to a Still wallpaper instead.
